Server.War2.ru / Re: Helping the game

I can't believe you guys still remember your aka's from bnet/kali days.  I played a lot in late 90s early 2000s while in college - i barely remember the name of the college I went to.  I've wracked my brain trying to remember my old names and even after 4 months of playing here I have no idea what they could be.  College was a big haze for me I suppose.

An outside perspective from a player who has played pretty consistently over the past 3-4 months - I would say the most "helpful" players to the community would be {lance}, 00Joe and Burnt with {lance} being far and away the best of the bunch (in my humble opinion).  He joins most public games, not just the a/a x/x games with 4 watching a 2v2.  He will play with anyone and give pointers.  00Joe also helps, but has his moments where he gets fed up and let's it be known lolol.

Just my humble opinion on players who make it worth coming back for (a fresh perspective versus the same 10 whom I've noticed post back and forth against each other).  There are others who are great to play with - Casi0, Yamon, PBRMEASAP just to name a few others.

The server has a good core of constant players, but it is true that the "newbs" will get the boot quickly unless they chat and let it be known they suck and want to get better.

Players on the back up server went from 5 to 20 in less than an hour since I posted this after spending 20 minutes waiting for a 1v1 (sad i waited that long, i know).  Maybe it's a coincidence.

Keep it simple.

No need to apologize - it's a 20 year old game and happy to see fans of the game that have kept it running for nostalgic players like myself (or for their own selfish reasons and I just get to piggyback for free).  Same result - more War 2.

I had just read a lot of posts about back up servers and where to play while main server was down, but no post simply stated "change the server drop down from the connect screen" after you launch war2.  I thought I would try to simplify into layman's terms for the non tech savvy players like myself.

This may seem like common sense, but for those like me who don't know better:

When I double click to launch war2 it gives me an "abort, retry, ignore" error.  If you hit ignore it will launch War2.  Then you hit M then E to get to Connect screen.  At connect screen there is a drop down for server and you can change the server to Moustepher's server.

Sorry if this seems obvious, but I didn't know this drop down existed so wanted to share.  Hopefully will get a game in before I crash.

I tried the war2.me server, but ran into the same problem of not being able to pull up the game.  It's late so will try again tomorrow.  Hopefully this will be resolved by then.

One of the main draws of this game is the simplicity (2 races, 7 troops, minimal upgrades) - I've got too much going on to learn a new game and try to keep up with the 14 year olds who master the game in minutes.  I like to just jump on and game for a couple of hours when I have time without having to be frustrated over learning a whole new, much more complex game!

The server has been great, hopefully they get it fixed.

I haven't logged into this forum before because I never cared to - actually I didn't really know it existed until I had some time on my hands because the War 2 server is down.

I read up on some posts over the last hour and I'm surprised to see so much trolling from Equinox and others.  I've gamed with Equinox a few times in the past and surprised to see him troll so much on here, but was a good partner in a game without all the shit talking.

Point is - when is this shit getting fixed?  I played this game back in college (1999-2003) on b.net servers and joined this group 3-4 months ago.  It's been fun and would like to keep it going, not posting on some online forum.   It would be easier on me to get an update or a backup server address on this post rather than trying to sort through thousands of threads that are 10 years old.

Thanks,
Marsh
